Cepeda walks into the Hidden Leaf Forest. He looks at the trees of the forest, as he gains a vision of another Uchiha. He holds his head in pain, as he gets an image of the Uchiha Massacre again. Images of the man who caused it all, the man named Itachi Uchiha. Cepeda screams as the memories cause him intense mental pain. Cepeda punches a tree as he continues to yell.

Natsuki listened intently to his confession. Ah, so that's why he was writhing on the ground. It made a lot more sense now. She remained quiet, not knowing what to say. Should she comfort him or something? Natsuki shook her head. He's an Uchiha so any comforting, pity, or sympathy would be absolutely denied.

"I see..." That was all she could manage after a moment of silence.

They reached the edge of the forest now. Back to where Natsuki had been ambushed by the duo bullies.

"Well, we've made it. Before I went for some tree-hopping I was practicing my aim on those targets over there."

She pointed a bandaged finger to some posts with dummies on them. The sun was up high in the sky, and other recently graduated Genin were beginning to swarm the place. Natsuki clicked her tongue in annoyance. They just had to come out now, didn't they?

"Or we can go find some other training grounds that's private. This place is going to get swarmed soon."

In actuality, she just didn't want to face Kuro and Shiro if they decided to return.

"You said you wanted to train there, so we are going to train there." Cepeda jumps out of the tree, as he say the other genin standing there. "If you guys don't mind, me and my friend are going to train her."

"Ah!" Natsuki made a move to stop him, but he was already by the grounds telling (well what do you know?) Kuro and Shiro to beat it. She groaned and shook her head. Nevertheless, she jumped down from her perch on the tree and landed next to Cepeda. Natsuki could already see Kuro turning red while Shiro narrowed his eyes.

"What was that, punk?!" Kuro stepped towards Cepeda, trying to look threatening. "Don't you be telling us what to do!"

"I didn't tell you what to do, I was just letting you know we are going to train here. Now I advise your to get out of my face, and to brush your teeth more efficently." Cepeda stares at Kuro dead in the eyes.

Natsuki had to smile. The Uchiha pride and arrogance came in handy once in a while; making her feel a bit confident and what not.

She crossed her arms, and tilted her head to the side. What could they do? Genjutsu? No, she didn't even know any genjutsus. Ninjutsu? Natsuki had to sigh at that; the only techniques she knew were the basic academy ones, and those didn't help much at all. So that leaves Taijutsu; yeah... She was okay with that.

"Alright!" Natsuki grinned and ran at him with her fists in front of her.

She should have waited for him to attack first, but it was training and it didn't really matter who went first. Her fists shot out in two quick jabs before raising her leg and attacking with a high roundhouse kick to the head.

Cepeda dodged a few of them, he is then punched in the face. He felt the fist hitting hs jaw, as his face was knocked to the side. He looks at Natuski as he smiles. 'Nice hit." Cepeda laughs, as he throws a kick at her.

Cepeda felt her grasp around his neck, as he felt a sudden pain in his stomach. He looked her in the eye, as he was real close to her. He smiled as he grabbed her arm, as he spun around, he aimed to toss her over his shoulder.

Natsuki, having her back towards Cepeda, didn't have time to block or dodge his punch as she turned around. Not wanting him to be the only one to give a punch, Natsuki threw her own as his punch made contact with her cheek.
